He’s been living his life with many regrets. When he was still a Sensei in the land of iron , he was in charge of a missions which led to the extermination of a vilage filled with innocent people. Since then he’s been seeing many nightmares about that day which he can’t seem to forget . He’s been resorting to alcohol as a way to forget, but it’s been destroying him. Even after he got captured by the samurai’s he didn’t think he was worth saving. But his prospect of life changed after meeting Katsumoto . He learned what living really means and he decides to live the life of a samurai and he’s willing to give his life to protect them.

History:
Once upon a time a samurai yelled "Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil, Khallil." It was a song that he used to sing when travelling. Captain Nathan Algren , a disenchanted ex- Sensei and an alcoholic, who is traumatized by his experience fighting in the NinjaWars. In the years following his army service, Algren makes his living by relating war stories to show audiences in many small hiden villages, an experience which further hampers his mental state. Fed up with Algren's perpetual drunkenness, his employer fires him, forcing Algren to accept an invitation by his former commanding Sensei Bagley , whom Algren deeply hates and blames for his waking nightmares after his role in the massacring of an Iinnocent village during the last war. Bagley approaches him with an offer on behalf of a businessman from a hidden village, Mr. Omura , to help rebuild and train their new ninja army.
Under the command of Bagley, Algren and his companions travel to the land of the wind. The land of the wind is in the middle of drastic civil change, and the new ninja-world additions to society have not gone unopposed. The samurai are conducting an insurrection against the modernization campaign, and it is for the purpose of suppressing this insurrection that Algren is called to The land of the wind. The newly-formed hidden village army is a poorly-trained and equipped conscripted army of low ranked ninjas totally lacking in combat experience. Algren does his best to remedy this, but before the men are trained to his satisfaction, the leader of the insurrection, Katsumoto , attacks a railroad outside his province. Bagley orders Algren to lead the inexperienced conscripts to engage Katsumoto. Algren protests and, in a demonstration, illustrates the army's inexperience and inadequate training. Bagley dismisses Algren's concerns and orders a regiment to track down and engage Katsumoto.
When the regiment arrives at the battlefield, Bagley moves to the rear and orders Algren to do the same, since the ninjas are technically non-combatants. Algren refuses and takes personal command of the army. During the battle, the conscripted ninjas panic despite Algren's best efforts to keep them under control.
Samurai swarm the wholly unprepared army and the ninja flee in disarray. Algren and Gant stand their ground and manage to kill several samurai, but Gant is killed and Algren is thrown from his horse. On foot, he desperately fends off several samurai with a broken spear embroidered with a flag depicting a white tiger. The flag on the spear reminds Katsumoto of a vision he experienced during meditation. Katsumoto's brother-in-law, the red-masked samurai Hirotaro and Gant's killer, prepares to finish Algren as well, but Algren seizes a spear from the ground and stabs him through the throat. Believing what he has witnessed to be an omen, Katsumoto prevents his warriors finishing off the wounded Algren and takes him prisoner. Algren is taken to an isolated village called Sunakagure, where he gradually recovers in a house belonging to Katsumoto’s family, inhabited by his daughter Taka, her two sons, Higen and Magojiro, and Katsumoto's son, Nobutada .
Over time, Algren overcomes both his alcoholism and the nightmares of his traumatic past, and begins to assimilate to village life, although he does not adopt many local customs. Eventually, he meets Katsumoto, who takes an interest in Algren and begins conversing regularly with him, each gaining a healthy respect for the other. Algren confides to his journal that he has never felt entirely at peace until he came among Katsumoto and his people. Algren studies swordsmanship under skilled swordmaster Ujio and becomes fluent in Sunagakurian by conversing with the local residents, earning their respect.
One night, Katsumoto parodies the comic role of a kygen actor in an open-air torchlight performance . The carefree respite is interrupted by an attack of ninja assassins. Algren raises the alarm and then takes up a sword to help the defense. The samurai succeed in defeating the ninjas, but with many losses. Though Katsumoto does not confirm it, Algren deduces that the attack was ordered by Bagly.
In spring, Algren is taken back to his birthplace. There he learns that the army, under Bagley's command, is now better organized and and stronger than ever. Omura offers to place Algren in command of the army if he agrees to crush the samurai rebellion, but Algren declines. In private, Omura orders his men to kill Algren if he attempts to warn Katsumoto of their intentions. At the same time, Katsumoto offers his counsel to his old pupil , to whom he was once a great teacher.
Katsumoto receives word that a large Imperial Ninja unit, commanded by Bagley, is marching out to engage the samurai. A counter-force of samurai, numbering only 500, is rallied. On the eve of battle, Algren is presented with a katana of his own. He also gives him his dead son's armor.
When the Imperial Army confronts the samurai's rebel forces, the samurai fall back to higher ground, to keep the cassualties low. As expected, Omura immediately orders the infantry to advance. Bagley expresses misgivings and advises sending in scouting groups first to assess the area, but Omura overrules him and insists on a full attack, and thus the ninjas marche straight into a trap. Setting blocking fires to cut the enemy's immediate fighting strength in half, the samurai then unleash volleys of arrows on the infantrymen. A wave of samurai swordsmen, Katsumoto and Algren among them, attack the disorganized body of ninjas before they can recover from the arrow attack. A second wave of Imperial ninjas follows behind, only to be countered by samurai cavalry, and a savage mêlée ensues that leaves many dead on both sides before the Imperial ninjas finally retreat.
Realizing that fresh Imperial ninjas are coming and that defeat is inevitable should a second battle occur, the surviving samurai resolve to make a final, fate-charged mounted assault. During the battle, Bagley shoots Katsumoto in the shoulder, but before he can finish off the samurai, Algren hurls his sword at Bagley, killing him by spearing him through the chest. On approaching the Imperial rear line and progressing far enough to scare Omura, the samurai are finally cut down by the ninjas shuriken. Nathan is the onlysurvivor from that tragedy. He returned back to Sunakagure, where he is living a peaceful life. Atleast for now!
